With svn r31 it even works :)  'make check' will now be triggered by the
install step. This is good, in particular once we get to architectures less
covered by others or upstream.

Testbuilds of mine without patches 10 and 99 worked fine. Haven't had a
chance to test run-time behaviour.

The big surprise of yesterday was that some of us (the ones identified as
authors in patches/) got email from upstream -- they found us before we
contacted them ===:-)  And all our (man page) patches are already in SVN
upstream. How cool is that?  So if we drop patches 10 and 99 because they are
'null and void', we'd actually be patch free for a next release. Nice one.

Cheers, Dirk
